I go back to the previous scene and begin to edit it. Usually by the time I reach the end of the scene, I'm ready to keep writing.

Other times, I stew over a scene, letting it simmer overnight. I can't tell you how many times I've awakened with the perfect solution in my head clamoring to be written.(less)

Welcome to 2025!

As a kid, I couldn't fathom the idea of living in the year 2000, yet here we are 25 years beyond that! My young brain could not imagine that far ahead. After all, I was going to be so old by 2000. (Not really, but you know how kids think.) Now, I really might be that kind of old, but I sure don't feel it. It's all about our mindset, right?Where is my mindset? Looking forward to this year's events
